Welcome<br />

Professor Kerry O. Cox<br />

Vice-Chancellor<br />

Message from ECU’s Vice-Chancellor<br />

Today the world is globally connected<br />

economically, politically and socially. Future<br />

prosperity and sustainability is dependent<br />

on this connectivity. It is important<br />

therefore that here at Edith Cowan<br />

University (ECU) we have recognised the<br />

rapid changes that have been occurring<br />

in the world in recent years and we have<br />

changed the way we perform our core<br />

work of teaching and research. In brief,<br />

we have been revising our courses to<br />

give our students the knowledge, skills<br />

and confidence they need to meet the<br />

challenges of constant change and<br />

connectivity, which is the hallmark of the<br />

21st century.<br />

As a University we have set ourselves the<br />

task of supporting, staff, students and<br />

graduates who are highly regarded as<br />

ethical and self-reliant contributors to their<br />

communities and because of that, to the<br />

world-at-large. A core driving force for ECU<br />

is for teaching and research to be inspired<br />

by engagement and partnerships with our<br />

many communities around the world.<br />

Like Australian College of Business<br />

and Technology (ACBT), ECU aims<br />

to provide educational opportunities<br />

that match the needs of students and<br />

offers curricula of relevance to both<br />

local and international students.<br />

ECU takes an active interest in ACBT’s<br />

course offerings. These courses enable<br />

eligible students to gain an alternative<br />

pathway to university with advanced<br />

standing status.<br />

Your decision to enrol at ACBT is a worthy<br />

one and I wish you every success with your<br />

studies. On completion of your course at<br />

ACBT we look forward to welcoming you to<br />

ECU to complete your university studies.<br />

Dr PMC Thilakarathne<br />

College Director<br />

for the following reasons:<br />

your study in Sri Lanka or transfer to a<br />

university in Australia or the UK;<br />
